FOR PRESIDENT,
Hon. SCHUYLEE COLFAX,
OF INDIANA.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
Hon. GEORGE H. WILLIAMS,
or OBLGO.V.
Subject to the Nomination of the National
Republican Convention in 1868.
I'll-- JVcAt P. e.idtutiul Contest.
The Nhw York politicians are already
speculating on the next Presidential cam
paign. The World says the Democrats
have no candidal in training, while the
Republicans have several. One importan;
point disturbs the nerves of the World
It says : " We do not, as yet, know
whether the Southern Slates will be per
mitted to take part in the election ; it
is in the power of the Republicans to al
low or to prohibit them since the Repub
licau Congress will have the counting o!
tlui votes." The World, if honest, would
have said that it did not know wheth
er the south would accept the military
bill, but it is evident the matter is en
tirely in its own hand-'.1 There is another
Presidential dilemma equally as perplex
ing to the Wqrid. The editor -tears the
Republicans will win, let the fight be as
it may. If thre is a division of the
party. which is appareut only to Democratic
vision, the World says the election will
go into the House, and the Radical can
didate will be elected. II there is no
division, the World argues, the Radicals
are sure to elect by the people. This
is a very flattering aspect for the Repub
licarH. bat the World seems to draw
consolation and hope from the fact that
something may turn up that the feud and
dissatislaction in the Republican ranks
may be eo g$cat as to drive over enough
Republicans to the Democratic camp .o
ensure a Copperhead triumph. No one
but a starving and cadaverous Democrat
ic editor can draw pUus.ble satisfaction
from the present political situation.
The World, alluding to the conserv
ative" movement in the Union party,
remarks that its strength and promise
(so lar as it has any," wisely provides
the editor,) consists in the expectation
of running Gen. Grant for the Presidency.
On this point the World says : but
suppose General Giant should refuse the
nomination? He would not knowingly
run to be beaten ; and it m iy be safely
assumed that he is a prudent calculator
of the chances." It is apparent that the
World judges thajt Gen. Grant cannot
be used, and that he will not be a candi-
date for the Presidency in 18U8. It is also
clear that the conservative Republicans,
as a party, are insignificant, ami good
for nothing but recruiting material for
the Copperhead party ; and after all it
remarks that "Messrs. Seward, Weed ami
Raymond, would no doubt prefer a hospit
able half-way house ; they would find it
awkward to join a party which they had
spent their whole lives in abusing."
We shall not pretend to speak for the
Republican party as a whole, but for our
own preferences, and as we believe those
of the Republicans of Oregon, we have to
4ay placed at the head of these columns
two names which deserve the position, and
names of men who, if nominated, would
3 tbe text shows beyond a doubt, be
elected by a most overwhelming vote.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax was Oregon's first
-choice for the Vice Presidency in 1864,
and had there have been a second ballot
taken in the convention, would to-day be
.at be head of the Government. . He is
.emphatically now the first choice of this
people for President, and with Hon. George
11. Williams as Vice President, could bet
ter nominations be made ?
Political matters in some parts of the
country are in a state of chaos. To a
greater or less extent all .parties are "at
sea," but that the South will be properly
reconstructed under the Congressional
plan to us seems clear, and every indica
tion goes to show a certain and decided
success to the Republicans everywhere,
next year.
Albany Journal.-We are glad to notice
the high moral and independent stand
taken by the Editor of our Albany cotem
porary in his last is.-ue. Secular papers,
.as a rule, are afraid to do what wiil most
conduce to the public welfare for fear ol
rendering themselves Ruble to the charge
of " religious fanaticism." No prosperity
is permanent or desi rable, which is no
based upon a just and religious conviction
.of responsibility, and we rejoice in any
indication of un overthrow of that popular
idea that morality, decency, and temper
ance, .cannot be tolerated in a paper de
voted to the best secular interests of man
kindwhether individual or collective.
Some of our political cotemporaries would
be more acceptable in family circles, did
0
they act upon the hints contained in the
Journal. Questions which cannot be ar
gued without the aid of indecent exple
tives, and unchristian language, are not
nt lor public d.scussion.

iut iiwu.1. me report oi tnr vote m
Portland on last Monday shows that T. J.
Holmes Democrat, was elected Mayor,
over J. P. O. Lownsdale Republican, by
60 majority ; J. J. Hoffman. R.. was elected
Recorder over J. P. Jefters. D..' by 20i.
majority ; C. P. Ferry, R., was elected
Treasurer, over B. F. Goodwin, D., by 74
majority ; II. II Johnston. D.. was elected
Assessor, over W. H. Westell, R.. by 83
majority. The Democrats have six to
three in the Common Council.
Monet. A New York correspondent
says that schemes which, two years aro
would command any quantity of money
on two hours notice would now insult a
wall-street capitalist if brought to bin at
State Liu ntls.
The .Sentinel siys : The disposition of some
of our citizens to settle ou and iumrove the
surveyed Government laud in the neighbor
hood f Klamath Lake has been somewhat
dampened by the discovery that the most
eligible and valuable tract has probably been
taken bv the State. Had the land been un
surveye'i, the settlers might have acquired
title from the State bv having their claims
embraced iu State locations ; but under ex
isting circuHitues, it seems they must
wait until tbe land is ottered in the market
to the highest bidder. It seems pooi policy
on the part of the State to delay the sale
and settlement of this section of country for
an indefinite period. Id five or ten years
the land may, perhaps, bring a higher price,
but that consideration is of small moment in
comparison with the importance of iti t ecu
pution and improvement. We need popn
Intion have plenty ot vacant land and it
is the duty of the State Government to en
courage immigration, by offering every fa
cility for the occupation f the public domain,
cnther than obsti uct it by playing the part
of a land monopolist
Concern ng the above, the Oregonkin
says : On the admission of Oregon in
to the Union, she became entitled to
.300.000 acres of land, to be located by
the Governor, for internal improvements.
The constitution of Oregon provides that
the proceeds of these lands shall be used
for common school purposes. Congress
recogt.ized the conversion of the dona
tion to school purposes by the admission
of Oregon, and otherwise. Most of the
5;)0.000 acres of land have been selected
within the last four years. As stated in
the Sentinel, the best lands in the Klam
ath Lake country have been selected
by the State and set apart as school lands;
but if the Sentinel had been is willing
to examine the law as to make a fling
at the State Government, it would have
found that the State is not playing the
part of a land monopolist," nor does it
propose to sell the lands " to the high
est bidder." There is nothing in the law
n w, and never has bee; , to preven; any
man from moving ou to any land selected
by the State, and making his application
to the State Land Commissioner to pur
chase the same, ' We understand that about
00,000 acres of the land selected, bv
ihe State have been approved by the
Commissioner of the. General Land Office,
including the selections in the Klamath
valley ; if so, settlers can immediately
purchase said land, in quantities of 30
acres to each, and receive their deeds from
the State. As to the price to be paid
for school lands by those who have made
applications to purchase since the pass
age of the Act, approved Oct. 2i, 18G6.
Sec. 2d of said Act provides that such
persons shall have the land at its true
value, in coin, to be ascertained and
fixed .by the State Board and the school
Superintendent in the county where the
iud is situated. Those who apply be
fore the passage of said Act will receive
their lands at the price fixed in previous
laws. Surrounding Klamath Lake i3 a
rich, beautiful and extensive vallev the
best grazing country now to be found in
the State. Another military post is to be
established this summer between Fort
Klamath and Goose Lake, which will fur
nish ample protection to the settlers iu
Unit section ot country. -There is now no
impediment in the way of settling that
country 'immediately. Let it be tided up
and
a new county organized at the next
session of the Legislature. A half dozen en
terprising men, leading the way, will be
iol lowed by enough settlers to fi.l up that
valley before fall. Who will go first?
Portland Election. The election in
Portland on last Monday was a Democratic
triumph. The Oregonian says : " Tbe
Holmes and Hallock clique have recovered
nearly full control of the city, which they
will retain one or two years, though cer
tainly not longert as the people will be
compelled in that time to rise and drive
them from office and power as they did a
few years ago." This is all very fine, but
will Republicans allow themselves to
, " rise" in all their strength by that time.
The vote shows that personal and not par
tizan feeling defeated Lownsdale and car
ried the council. Personally, we have no
fault to find with any of" the men elected,
but if politicians choose to draw lines, and
fight their battles on those lines, let them
do it with true spirit. The Oregonian fur-
her says : The Democrats worked with
ireless activity for their ticket and
brought, out almost their entire vote,
while the Republicans scarcely worked at
ail. and in consequence did not poll any
thing near their full strength. It is a habit
of the Democratic party to do their best
it every election, while the Republicans
can get their vote out only on great occa
sions." Then they never ought to make
party. nominations, except on ' great oc
casions." Ihe deieat in Portland last
Monday has a bad effect.
Navigation to Forest Grove. In a
conversation with Mr. O. Parsons, of
Forest Grove, lately, we learned that the
farmers of Tualatin Plains regard the suc
cessful navigation of the Tualatin river as
a very important matter with them. Tbe
few trips made by the Yamhill, stimulated
business over there greatly, and the hope
of all is that the dam at the old site of the
Moore & Pease mill may be again put in.
to make a stage sufficient to carry the
boat to Forest Grove every day in the
year. We learn that the project has not
been abandoned ; that the river will be so
navigated hence we give those people
i his encouragement.
A Goon Pukss. In the Government
printing oftice at Washington is a press of
the Bullock patent which prints in one
hour 20,000 sheets of sixty-four pages of
documents matter ; while doing this it
feeds itself, the paper being in rolls, wets
the paper, cuts the sheets, folds them, and
by a dial attached to the press keeps the
tally of tbe sheets printed. Only two men
are required to have entire control of the
press, thus doing away with the necessity
of feeders. '
Ohegox Coal. The steamer Ajax, on
her present trip to San Francisco, burns

who held that the bond, or undertaking in

bv the plaintiff, as well as his sureties ;
and that an undertaking by surities alone
was insufficient."- s the opposite prac

consequence of this immense quantity

At a late hour on Tuesday night, says
the Herald of Wednesday, the news went
through the city like an electric shock,
that Mayor Holmes was dead, incredul
ous to the truth of a report so unlooked
for. we hastened to h;s house and found
him cold and st iff in death. In the full
vigor of mature manhood: in the lull flush
of app. re.it robust Health, he was stricken
down without a moment's warning by ap
oplexy, and expired almost without a
struggle, at about l )i o'clock. On Mon
day he was re-elected Mayor of the city,
and on the same evening i e addressed his
fellow citizens in a speech marked by his
accustomed vigor. Yesterday he was
upon the street all day attending to his
business and receiving the congratula
tions of his large circle of friends, and now
be is dead ! The shock under which we
are laboring, and the late hour, will not
permit a fuller notice of this most melan
choly dispensation at this time.
Splenow Instkument.-;. -While at Port-
laud a few days since we were shown
by Prof Ru'jes, at the store of Messrs.
J. L. Parrish &. Co. a musical instrument,
quite new in this part of the country,
ihey are a French, instrument called the
Oigan Harmonium invented by Alphonse
Rodoiphe. It is a very considerable mod
ification of the organ as we have them
trom the American manuiiiciories. It is
provided with sixteen stops, each of which
exerc.ses a dist.net and peculiar effect up
on the tone. The bass stops are the
Forte. Jeu Doux. (soil, sweet) Bassou.

slops are Expression, irenielo. Scou-li
Bagpipe, I'lu.e, Clarinette. File. Ham

For instance : Ironi the Flme to Voix
Celeste with Fuil Expression : the tone
changes lVoin what sounds precisely l ki

which we wouid expect trom an Angel

changes are no less surprising. The in
struments are of-the most perfect w rk

smiie sreuial, and restorative in its na-
t iu e, enter into the composition of HOS
I LITER'S SfOMACIl LITTERS. This
popular preparation contains no mineral of
any kind : no deadiy botanical element ; no
fiery excitant; but is a cQnbinalion of the
txiiacts of lure baLairiic herbs and plants,
wiib the purest and mildest of all ditiusive
stimulants.
J he week stomach is rapidly invigorated,
and the appetite restored by this tonic, and
hence it works wonders in cases of Dyspepsia,
and in less continued forms of Indigestion.
Acting as a gentle and painless aprient, as
well as upon ttie liver, it aIocinvriablyre
lieves the Constipation superinduced by ir
regular action of the d.gestive and secretive

Persons of feeble habit, liabhj, o Nervous
Attacks, Lowness of Spirits, and Fits of
Languor, find prompt and permamcnt relief
from the Hitters. The testimony on this
point, is conclusive, and from both sexes.
As a Genuine Tonic, IIOSTKTTLR'S HIT
TERS produce eilVcts which must be experi
enced or witnessed before ihey can be fu"J
appreciated. In cases ot Constitutional
Weakness Premature Decay, and DebilitJ
and Decrepitude arising from old age, it ex
ercises the electric influence. In the conva
lescent stages of all diseases it onerates as c
dciigl.tlul invig..rant. When the powers ol
nature artreiaed, it operates to re-euforce
and re-establish them. q . o
Last, but not least, it is the only safe stim
ulant, being manufactured from sound ana
inocuous materials, and entirely free lrom,
the acrid elements prcs .nt more or less m
